Very sad news for Lelê, Corinthians and Brasil as she suffers a ACL rupture. We wish Lelê all the best in her rehabilitation and come back as good as ever.

The injury occurred in training session she will miss the Concacaf W Gold Cup and the Olympics .

🛟 The duo of Imo Queens fc Stars, Harmony Chidi and Nwachukwu Prisca scored 50% of the goals scored by Flamingos in the two legged games in the under 17 world cup qualifiers against central Africa of Republic..

Harmony Chidi has a brace from the first leg and completed a hat-trick yesterday while Nwachukwu Prisca was on target in the first leg..

Meanwhile, Harmony Chidi is a goal shy of the total goals scored by Opeyemi Ajakaye in the last World Cup Qualifiers..

At least she don deliver her pooling unit… I remember when I started posting about her here before she was called up for the U17

MULTITALENTED Kabange Mupopo has found her way back in the Copper Queens squad close to a decade after she quit football to fully focus on athletics.

Copper Queens coach Bruce Mwape has named Mupopo in his 30 – woman provision squad ahead of 2024 Olympics qualifier against Ghana.

Mupopo was part of the Zambia team that played at the Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAfCON) that was staged in Namibia in 2014. Mupopo was a gold medalist at the 2015 All-Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville.

In 2018, her Athletics shine was dimmed when she was handed a four-year ban by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) after testing positive for a prohibited substance at the 2017 World Championships.

Last year, she returned to football, turning up for Green Buffaloes and coach Bruce Mwape has handed her a call up.

SuperFalcons Defender Onyi Zogg….!

Bay FC set to unveil new Player….!

BascoVanVeli:
It worked out for Rasheedat Ajibade.

Rasheedat Ajibade, Chiwendu Ihezuo played the U17 and U20 World Cup twice, did this in anyway affect their development or progress as players??. They were both starters in all the editions they played at. So I’m still wondering why they’re still faulting Afolabi and Etim inclusion.

Icon4s:
She probably featured in the last U17 as a 15yrs old. Players repeating class is very common in our women football. If you recall, likes of Azizat Oshoala played the U20 twice. Even Desire Oparanozie played U17 twice. Just to mention a few.

To me if it was up to 10 of the past U17 last that were recalled back for this edition, I believe we should be raising an eyebrow but they’re not even up to 5 so wats the big deal there.. And there’s every possibility that the 5 might not even make the final World Cup roster if we qualify..!

Banyana Banyana coach Desiree Ellis named her 32 members provisional squad set to be trimmed ahead of Tanzania olympic qualification clash.

Made In 9ja… Delivered in France

Blessing Nkor she was in great form in their 4-1 win over Galatasaray women's team away from home.. she netted one goal⚽ and provided two assists🅰️..

After so much observation i can finally say that Onyi Echegini is the new Dzsenifer Marozsán (Former Germany International), They both have similar playing Qualities, Physique and accurate Striking ability from distance..!

Both are excellent ball carriers, Uses both feet’s effectively and Plays multiple positions on the field from Midfield, down to the flank and as a Center Forward…

From 2008 till date a big time follower of the Women’s game will definitely know the qualities Dzsenifer Marozsán Carries for both Lyon and Germany..

AkinDS:
Sorry, but the philosophy behind U17 is NOT to have repetitions... U17 is supposed to be developmental, which means you do a stint and move on to the next level.
Both Etim and Afolabi have NO business playing again for U17. That so called 'experience' is a misnomer and has actually stifled growth and development for others who would otherwise have been in the frame.
To me, its a silly justification of the inept approach and a convenient excuse for the incompetence of Nigerian coaches.
I mean, what 'experience' is a '17 year old' supposed to have? Seriously?

They have every Business playing it even thrice if they still fall within the age bracket… So the Coach that brought both of them in does not know what he’s doing right.. Afolabi who’s currently the U17 Captain showed that she has got some little experience from playing the U17 before now and also currently among the U20 set up.!

So the U17 is not meant for Developmental purposes? What happens to winning it too?

Mk Ona forget that thing, Nigeria isn’t the only Country where players tends to play more than once In an age grade competition..! So the Asisat Oshoala, Desire Oparanozie, Chiwendu Ihezuo, Ebere Orji, Halimatu Ayinde and Co that Played the various age grade World Cup didn’t develop..!

Who knows what Oshoala would have become if she didn’t play the U20 for the second time..! By the way the players that was brought in from the former U17 squad are not even up to 5, so I’m wondering where all this developmental this and that is coming from..! As far as they fall within the age brackets let them play..!

I did talked about Edo Queens Young Goalkeeper Ijeoma Uzoma Christiana as one for the future some time ago here and few persons here didn’t buy the idea..

I hope she Prove a point as she’s Young, already have a good height, and a lot of time to Develop.

lovewins:
I think you mean Etim and I mentioned this weeks ago when the list was released. It makes no sense. Those who write ages for these players should try and be responsible small na. The problem now is she'll have spent the years she's supposed to compete with her peers in developmental stages and won't cope by the time she's supposed to translate same at the senior level.

She isn’t the first to play U17 on two different occasions.. By the way if you watch the game you would see the difference in her and Afolabi game. They showed experience that they have played the U17 before…

As far as they’re within the age bracket there’s nothing wrong in it…!
